Moreover, power off your system and then power it on (not a simple restart) to check if the issue is of a temporary nature. Moreover, the recovery options are only available to the Lion macOS or above, so, make sure your system is at least Lino macOS, otherwise, perform a clean install of the macOS by using a DVD or USB drive.Īdditionally, it will be better to use a Mac keyboard during the troubleshooting process. Command + R Not Workingīefore starting the troubleshooting process to force Mac into the recovery mode, make sure there is no firmware password in place, if so, then remove the password as you will not be able to use the recovery options if the firmware password is in place. The issue is not limited to a particular model and year of Mac.
The issue arises when the user tries to use the recovery mode of his Mac but the system starts in the normal mode. Moreover, the corrupt NVRAM may also cause the error under discussion. However, if I wait 3 seconds until the chime is done, and then press keys, I can get the recovery console.Command and R keys may fail to bring out the recovery mode of the Mac due to the wireless keyboard issues or wrong combinations of keys/power buttons used. I had been pressing the specified keys as soon as I could after a restart during the startup chime. For this, I am using not only a Windows keyboard, but also where the keyboard is connected to a KVM switch (i.e., USB connection from the Mini to the switch, and then keyboard attached to the switch).Īfter a bunch floundering, I found that at least with the Mini, timing is an issue. The Mini has been entirely different, where the best I can do is a login screen that offers to reset the login password. With the MBP and a built-in keyboard, I can get to the Recovery without difficulty, using any of the specified methods. I have both an old MacBook Pro (2010) and a 2014 Mac Mini.
